    August NSD 10/12 * £2 savers
  • It's only 10 days until the end of term, I can't wait :D

    This is the 2nd week of hols here :eek: - honestly, I don't know why they aren't all the same.

    We've got teachers who work in our county but live in the next one - and the hol dates are different :eek: which is a nightmare for childcare ..... (you'd think you'd be pretty sorted if you worked term times, but seemingly not!)

    Yes - holidays are a nightmare sometimes as even in the same county, they can be different at different schools - don't ask me why! Must admit, the almond croissant was lovely this morning, slightly warmed in the microwave, nom nom nom :D but at 17.5p, you can't really say no, can you? :whistle:

    Me too and that's part of the debt figure in my signature...:o Actually, it's one of the things I don't regret buying on credit. I live on it I'm afraid and it's beautiful.....
    I don't regret buying mine either, expensive as it was, it's blooming lovely :)

    So, today is NSD 3 in the SF household - finally! I don't know what's happening with my spending this month, but it has got to stop! I'm hoping Weds, Thurs and Fri are all going to be NSDs too, they should be as I don't need anything!

    I'm so fed up of the weather :( it's raining again, dark and cold and we've even had to put the heating on :( it's just so cold! I'm already sat with a big jumper on and a fleece blanket and still couldn't get toasty warm. It's rubbish that it's July and the heating is on. It's a joke, really. Anyone got any other ideas for keeping warm? I think I might have a hot water bottle somewhere, maybe that'd be better?

    Oh my goodness, it's not raining this morning! :j :j and the sun is almost shining :cool:
    Got a busy day at work again - I can't wait until the end of term! I've been put on cover again :mad: :wall::wall: the joys. I've got such a busy timetable anyway, and I keep getting put on cover! It's French today, of all things! Oh well, only 8 days left til the holidays.
    I'm hoping for another NSD today - I don't need any petrol or anything, I just need to avoid online... :o I'm mkaing a j£rk chicken curry for tea tonight which is made using all things we already have in, so it's a nice cheap tea :)
    Right, best get on! Have a good day everyone :hello:

    I didn't have chocolate but...

    Hubby and I thought we would treat ourselves to Domino's garlic bread yesterday but when we walked into Dominos the staff member said "It is two for Tuesdays". We ended up getting 2 stufffed crust pizzas and the garlic bread. I have to admit it was delicious and we are having the second pizza tonight so no cooking or washing up. :j

    It's not good for the diet though!! :eek: :o
